the Certification/Tire and Service Parts labels and the
certificates of title and registration.
Engine Identification
The eighth character in the VIN is the engine code. This

and replacement parts. See “Engine Specifications”
under Capacities and Specifications on page 5-122 for
the vehicle’s engine code.
